Tree/Shrub, broadleaf evergreen, broad spreading Height : up to 15 m. (normally 8 m.) Origin : Tasmania Environment : on acidic, fresh well drained soils, in full sun Climate : warm, temperate; frost-intolerant

Notes : Native of Tasmania, this species is today widespread all over the world due to his excellent ornamental qualities and the fast growth. In temperate climates it needs pro-tection from the winter cold. The flowers are famous be-cause they have become the symbol for the International Women’s Day. It is a good furniture species. The bark is used for the production of tannin.

Tree, broadleaf evergreen, broad spreading Height : up to 18 m in cultivation, taller when growing old Origin : Hawai’i (Hawai’i, Maui, Oahu) Environment : dry to wet forests, from 70 to 2300 m altitude Climate : warm, temperate

Notes : Koa is one of the fastest growing Hawaiian trees, as it can reach 20 feet in five years. However, after that, it takes 50 years to reach a commercially useful dimension, and for this reason it is not often farmed. Ancient Hawai-ians used to build their canoes with the trunk of Koa. The reddish wood is today used for musical instruments, like the typical “Ukulele”. Grazing has much reduced the Koa population on the Hawaii islands, making the regenera-tion nearly impossible.

Tree, conifer evergreen, broad columnar Height : up to 30 m, normally 15 m Origin : New Caledonia Environment : subtropical rainforest, from 0 to 1000 m altitude Climate : warm, temperate; humid

Notes : The White Kauri is a big tree that grows in dense forests, on sedimentary or metamorphic rocks, dominating over the other tree species. The trunk can reach the impres-sive diameter of 1,5 meters or more. The White Kauri is an endangered species that is threatened by habitat loss. The timber is one of the finest in Oceania: it is used in the production of guitars especially, and it’s appreciated for the very light colour and the delicate, sweet tone.

Tree, conifer evergreen, triangular or narrow columnar Height : up to 50-65 m in forests; much smaller in cultivation Origin : Norfolk Island Environment : coastal and inland forests; on deep, fertile, moist sand Climate : warm, temperate; frost-intolerant; salt- and wind-resistant

Notes : The Norfolk Island Pine is immediately recognizable even to non-experts, thanks to the distinctive appearance, with widely spread branches and a symmetrical triangu-lar outline. The symmetric appearance is weakened or lost in the adult age. This tree, which is not a true pine, is today popular worldwide in temperate regions for gar-den and park decoration. It is an ideal choice for coastal cities, as it stands wind and salt extremely well, and it has recently grown in popularity as a live indoor Christ-mas tree.

O C E A N I A 1 xfrogplants

Fern, evergreen Height : 1 to 1,5 m on average Origin : Polynesia, Tropical Asia Environment : humid forests, as ground cover or on trees, over organic matter Climate : warm, temperate; humid; in full or partial shade

Notes : This plant, as both the Latin and common English names suggest, is a species whose growth can be terrestrial or epiphytal – meaning an air plant which grows on the body of other plants, but does not derive it’s nourish-ment from them. When growing on trees, the plant effec-tively recalls a bird’s nest. It survives gathering water and humus in it’s leaf-rosette. When growing on the ground, it forms dense formations, covering ground com-pletely.

Tree, broadleaf deciduous, broad spreading Height : up to 10-15 m. Origin : Pacific Islands, Eastern China, Japan Environment : wild lands, on any soil, thriving also in full shade Climate : temperate; stands well both cold and drought Notes : The Paper Mulberry is a very rustic tree that often colo-nizes wasted lands and ruined buildings or road edges. It was imported from Asia to Europe in the 18th century as ornamental plant. Because of it’s ability to adapt and grow in difficult conditions, it quickly became an invasive species. In Eastern Asia the soaked bark was used to produce paper (hence the common name). Native Fijians used the bark to make their ceremony clothes.

06. Paper Mulberry ( Broussonetia papyrifera ) O C E A N I A 1 xfrogplants

Tree/shrub, evergreen, broad columnar Height : up to 35 m (but normally smaller) Origin : Pacific Islands, Southeastern Asia, Southeastern Australia Environment : seashores, sandy slopes, open hills, on dry, sandy calcareous soils, sometimes on volcanic soils Climate : warm, temperate; very tolerant of salt and of windswept locations.

Notes : In spite of the needle-like leaves, this tree is not a coni-fer, in fact, it is much more similar to broadleaves. Being an excellent windbreak, Horsetail Casuarina was intro-duced into the coastal regions of other warm areas of the world, where it quickly became an invasive species, like in Florida. The deep digging roots can erode and split apart rocky cliffs. The wood is used for fencing and it’s also an excellent, hot burning firewood.

Arboreal plant Height : up to 15 m. Origin : New Zealand Environment : open fields and hill sides, in full sun or partial shade Climate : warm, temperate; well tolerant of occasional cold conditions

Notes : The Cabbage Tree is a monocotyledon tree-like plant of the lily family, native of New Zealand. It was a very im-portant food source for the Maori populations, who used to eat the carrot-shaped root of the plant as their main food, called Kauru. Also the young central leaves of the bushy branch heads can be used as substitute for cab-bage (hence the common name). The Cabbage Tree stands well occasional cold conditions, and for this rea-son is today planted as decorative plant in gardens of cooler world areas, such as England coasts. The Maori names of this plant are Tī rākau or Tī kōuka.

Tree Fern, evergreen Height : up to 20 m. Origin : New Zealand, Fiji, Polynesia Environment : volcanic hill sides, in full sun, but also in partial or full shade Climate : warm, temperate, cool; humid; it is hardy to around –3°C

Notes : The Black Treefern is the largest of all tree ferns. The name might derive from the very dark colour of the stipe of mature fronds or of the fiddleheads. It enjoys abun-dant moisture and although it can stand well the cold, it needs warm weather to develop a full, thick appearance. The plant has no secondary growth and no wood, yet, it has been often used as building material and for make-shift trackwork. The Maori names of this plant are Ma-muku, Katātā, Kōrau, or Pītau.

Palm, single-stemmed Height : up to 12 m. Origin : Northern Australia Environment : Monsoon rainforest, in flat lowland areas, near lakes and rivers; on many soils Climate : warm and humid; in full sunlight; very sensitive to cold and frost

Notes : The Carpentaria Palm is a fast growing palm, that needs frequent watering and a full sunlight position. It can a-dapt to different types of soild. It is a favourite for urban decoration use. It is, however, very sensitive to cold and frost, and for this reason it should only be planted in re-gions with mild winters. The Carpentaria genus was na-med after the Gulf of Carpentaria, a landmark of Nor-thern Australia. The juice from the fruits can cause skin irritation.

Tree Fern, evergreen Height : up to 15 m, but much more typically up to 4-5 m Origin : Tasmania Environment : damp, sheltered woodland slopes and moist gullies, on all soils, preferably moist Climate : warm, temperate, cool; humid or semi-humid; cold-resistant

Notes : The Tasmanian Treefern is probably the most widely known of all tree ferns, being cultivated also in temper-ate areas of the world because of it’s hardiness. In natu-ral standings, the fronds from the groups of this plants can form a dense canopy, while the fibrous trunks often hosts epiphytes, including other ferns. Dicksonia antarc-tica is not only cold-resistant, but also fire-resistant. It is well suited for garden planting, as it re-shoots readily af-ter relocation.

Tree, broadleaf evergreen, broad columnar Height : Average adult height 30 to 55 m, can reach 90 m in native Tasmania Origin : Tasmania, Southern Victoria (Australia) Environment : grasslands, heatlands, riparian habitats; in full sun; on any soil Climate : warm, mild; needs water at the roots frost-intolerant

Notes : Also called Tasmanian Blue Gum or Southern Blue Gum, this tree is the most widely cultivated tree in the Southern Pacific, because of the excellent timber and the production of Eucalyptus Oil. It is a much competitive species for water and light and tends to prevail over na-tive vegetation when planted outside it’s native habitat. It is also risky for fires, because it produces a lot of litter, and it’s high water consumption can lead to decreased soil moisture contents. The leaf arrangement changes with age from parallel (young) to alternate (adult).

It re-quires a moderate temperature and humid soil, and can stand full sun position only if the temperature is moder-ate. The Kentia Palm has become a very popular house-plant species. It can also grow outdoors in cooler cli-mates, but can not stand freeze for more than a few hours. It grows slowly and is best kept as stand-alone species.

Tree/Shrub, broadleaf evergreen, broad spreading Height : up to 30 m, more typically 15 m Origin : New Zealand Environment : coastal scrubs, wastelands, hillsides, from sea level to 2000 m altitude Climate : mild, temperate, cool

Notes : Kanuka was mainly known as Manuka until the 1930s. It is a New Zealand native species that is often erroneously confused with Australia’s Burgan, which grows mostly as a shrub, while New Zealand’s Kanuka can reach the re-spectable height of 30 meters and a trunk diameter of 1 meter. It is a very competitive species that often prevails over the others in the open forests. It often recolonizes wasted lands. It’s white blooming is visually remarkable.

15. Ohia Lehua ( Metrosideros polymorpha ) O C E A N I A 1 xfrogplants

Tree/Shrub, evergreen broadleaf, broad spreading Height : up to 20-25 m when growing as tree, much smaller as shrub Origin : Hawai’i (all six major islands) Environment : wet and dry forests, subalpine shrublands; on most soils, from sea level up to the treeline (2500 m) Climate : mild, temperate; it grows in a wide range of temperatures and rainfall

Notes : Ohia Lehua is the dominant species in Hawaiian Islands’ cloud forests and rainforests above 400 m altitude. It is also common in the seasonally wet forests, where it may share dominance with the Koa (Acacia koa). Ohia Lehua appears in a variety of shapes, as small shrub or tall tree, and everything in between. Obviously at high alti-tudes the shrub form is most common. It can grow on recent lava streams. The aspect of trunk can be much varied, from rough and gnarled to straight and smooth. Native Hawaiians used the wood for the construction of canoes and statues.

Tree/Shrub, broadleaf evergreen, broad spreading Height : up to 9 m. Origin : Tahiti; Southeast of Asia Environment : shady forests, open shores; on rocky, sandy, volcanic lava soils Climate : warm, mild, temperate; salt- and drought-tolerant

Notes : This tree is called with a variety of names, Noni (Hawaiian) being currently the most common. The Tahi-tian name is Nono, Malayan is Mengkudu, and western names are Great Morinda, Indian Mulberry, Beach Mulberry. It is a species that is widely diffused through-out the whole Southern Pacific. It is tolerant of saline soils and drought conditions, and therefore often planted in coastal cities. The ripe fruits have a pungent odour and are known as cheese fruits or even vomit fruits! Noni is attractive to weaver ants and fruit bats.

Arboreal Plant, evergreen Height : up to 6 m Origin : Polynesia Environment : damp areas, on coastal sites or mountain sides, in partial sunlight, on moist soils Climate : warm, mild

Notes : The Coastal Screw Pine is supported by prop roots, that anchor it to the soil. The fruits (which resemble pineap-ples) are edible and an important traditional food source for Polynesian populations. Today the leaves are mostly used as flavouring for sweets, but in the past, they were largely used for house thatching and women’s grass skirts. The common name of Screw Pine is due to the spiral arrangement of the leaves. The Hawaiian name is Hala.

Shrubby plant, perennial Height : up to 3-4 m. Origin : New Zealand, Norfolk Island Environment : swamps, low lying areas Climate : mild, temperate, cool; relatively cold-resistant Notes : The New Zealand Flax produces fibrous leaves that have been important for the history and economy of New Zea-land. When Maoris arrived in New Zealand, they were carrying with them the Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia pa-pyrifera), whose bark they used for clothing. But the Pa-per Mulberry did not flourish, so they used the Flax in-stead, not just for clothing but also for baskets and fish-ing nets. Today, New Zealand Flax has become a very popular decoration plant throughout the world.

Tree, conifer evergreen, broad spreading Height : up to 20-25 m, exceptionally up to 35 m Origin : New Zealand Environment : lowlands, mountain and lower subalpine for-ests, from sea level to 600 m altitude Climate : temperate, cool

Notes : The Totara (a Maori name) is a New Zealand endemic tree which grows slowly and rarely reaches important heights. It’s wood is hard and very resistant to rot. Be-cause of these qualities, it is often used for fence posts and floor pilings. It is also much appreciated for carving. Maoris appreciated it very much also for building canoes. It tolerates a wide range of conditions and is an impor-tant species in the Antarctic flora.
